Customer Reviews

I didn't like the way the wood looked - I thought it looked like real wood online but it looks fake. Also, I didn't like that it came with glue to assemble it. The quality just wasn't what I expected. It's a cool design, though. Overstock was great with the return.

For the price and style, this is a great item. Wasn't too hard to assemble. Nicely displays items in my little house and I get comments from visitors on how attractive it is. Much cheaper than the hutches I was looking at.

I was looking for a bookcase that would not be clunky but could be placed horizontally and hold TONS of books in an interesting way. (I'm an English professor and avid reader, but I wanted my book display to have more of an aesthetic appeal.) This piece is perfect! It's sturdy and spacious. The various sized shelf areas are perfect for housing a variety of books - from large textbooks and reference pieces to small paperback novels. The shelving pieces are interesting but have a bit of symmetry, so once filled it doesn't look cluttered and jumbled. I like this piece for its ability to easily be used vertically or horizontally depending on the room it is in. (Right now I have it on an office wall with a collection of travel art above it which looks funky and interesting.) My only complaint is that two of the stickers (a number and China's quality inspection) were difficult to take off the exterior side of one of the pieces; I was unable to remove some of the adhesive, so I placed that side of the bookcase toward the corner. I'm definitely pleased with my purchase overall, and my more traditional boyfriend was also pleasantly surprised with how well it came together.

The product is of thick wood-product. It's not particle board but it's not oak, either. It is softer than regular wood, though, so be aware. The boards are thick enough that you can have 2 rows of books on 1 shelf; if you use it as a divider, you could have one side for one row of books, and the other side for another row. It's really great that way. Also, it comes with wall anchors and acrews to put into the wall. You choose where to input the screw on the unti, though, so be aware of where you put it.
I really like this product (I brought 2) and it looks amazing. Though it was tough to put together by myself (moderately strong female), I was able to do so. Have a little patience, know that it'll take about an hour by yourself, and use the wood glue!
I had a little trouble, in that one of my boards was damaged, and the replacement they sent was missing an insert. After about 10days, I finally got everything I needed. Be sure to look things over carefully and call right away if there is a problem - these babies sold like Hot Cakes, and they didn't have any replacement parts for me after my initial call. (thank goodness all I needed was the insert.)

It arrived when it was expected. Everything was neatly stacked in the box. Nothing was missing. It took about an hour and 30 minutes to lay everything out and to assemble the bookcase. The stickers that labeled each piece were easily removed. It will look great in any room. Can do so many creative things with this bookcase.

was very excited when the shelf arrived fairly quickly and the box wasn't that heavy. The box was a little damaged but it didn't damage the shelf. I was able to build it in one hour I am very pleased on how nice it looks and it is a beautiful shade of wood, It's sturdy enough to hold my book collections. I love it!

I was looking for a shelf for our guest room to display collections of family heirlooms and this was the perfect choice. The arrangement of the shelves is interesting in itself and they lend themselves very well to showcase objects. I'm also very glad I found a shelf without a backing... the dark background would have "swallowed up" the things I wanted to display. This display cabinet works just perfectly in our guest room and
I am very pleased with the quality. And the shipping price? Awesome.

Thank you for your question, vjpeters. The Furniture of America Verena Contoured Leveled Display Cabinet/Bookcase comes in black, walnut, white and light oak. The digital images we display have the most accurate color possible. However, due to differences in computer monitors, we cannot be responsible for variations in color between the actual product and your screen. Have a great day.

Thank you for your question, Emil B. The digital images we display have the most accurate color possible. However, due to differences in computer monitors, we cannot be responsible for variations in color between the actual product and your screen. Have a great day.

We bought this bookshelf and LOVE it. We've got it standing vertically, the tall wall. Does anyone know of a smaller bookshelf that's matching that we might purchase to put along side it? We want to create a sort of L shape, but we don't have room for another one this big turned on its side. Thanks!

Tough question since there is so much variation...also depends on if you situate unit vertically or horizontally: Width of shelf platforms varies from : 15.5, 12.7, 7, 6 inches. Height of shelves: 19.5, 12.5, 12 inches.

Also, please sign up for our Club O, where you can save as well. Currently, the price of the bookcase is $188.99. Have a great day.

Sorry to repeat a question, but I just wanted to clarify if the shelves have a limit of 5lb (the previous answer given) or 50lb? From other reviews it seems like they could hold more than 5lb. Thank you!

Thank you for your question jxye. Yes, that is correct. The shelves have a max weight of 5 pounds. Overall, the shelves can hold up to 40 to 50 pounds as an entire unit. The shelves that are on the bottom will be able to hold approximately 5 to 8 pounds. Have a great day.

The picture styled the shelves as if they are better for show pieces, but you can actually position many books on them. I use them for all my books and office equipment. The sides were deep enough to hold as many books as I needed.

Thank you for contacting us amari605. It can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. This item has never been tested to be used as a TV stand, depending on the flat screen that the customer has, we don?t advise that you use this as a TV stand, but if you do, you will take the risk of the bookshelf not being able to take the weight of the flat screen TV in any position. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I currently have our flatscreen on it (46"); however, we are planning to mount it on the wall. This unit is in our game room and I don't trust my kids not to bump it. It is a study unit but I don't want to chance it.

I have this in my kitchen to hold all my cookbooks (I'm a chef, so I have quite a few), and it's both sturdy and beautiful. The dark color is great, and it's handy to cover the fact that its not real wood.

I have this unit too and use it in a closet to store my huge yarn supply. It is almost too nice to hide in a closet. It's very very sturdy and rich looking. I LOVE it! No problem...no dents, no chipped paint...NOTHING!

I bought one and it was easy to put together. It added so much character to my living room that I ordered a second one. I love them for the fact they were fairly easy to put together myself and they are of pretty high quality and functionality.

Bookshelves Buying Guide

Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.

Bookshelf Essentials

Whether you want a place to store books or simply display collectibles, bookshelves are the perfect solution. A bookshelf is a versatile type of furniture that goes with any room or decorating style. Aside from using them for books, use the space for storage by placing baskets for magazines, games, or videos in the living room. Place bookshelves in the bathroom to store extra towels and bath items. Take this list of bookshelf essentials into account before you purchase a set of shelves.

How to Decorate Book Shelves

It's important to realize that your book shelves and cases can be as chic and trendy as your other furniture. Your shelves can do more than just hold books. Adding a personal touch to your home's book shelves will make them a valuable and pleasant addition to any room. You don't have to add much to your book cases to make them stand out. Below is a list of suggestions on how to decorate book shelves.

FAQs about Bookcases

A bookcase is a great place to store, organize and display books as well as other personal items, like pictures, knickknacks and souvenirs. Bookshelves are pieces of functional, decorative furniture, but you may have some questions about which bookcases are right for your home. Look below to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about bookcases.

FAQs about Bedroom Shelving

Personlaizing your bedroom is easy when you display decorative accessories, such as framed pictures, fancy clocks or a selection of antique books. Shelving is excellent bedroom furniture for displaying your personal decorative items. With so many different kinds of bedroom shelving, it can be a puzzle to figure out what's right for you: wall-mounted shelves, bed stands or tall multi-shelved units. Look below to learn answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about bedroom shelving.

How to Decorate a Floating Shelf

Best Bookshelf Materials

It's not unusual for bookshelves to incorporate multiple materials for different features. If you haven't decided on wood, wood products, metal or glass bookshelves, look at their relative strengths and weaknesses. Look below to learn the best bookshelf materials. Wood: "Solid wood" is a common term for furniture made from lumber planks. Beware of making assumptions based on labels like "hardwood" and "softwood." Hardwoods are derived from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees; the terms don't connote their relative strengths. Balsa is a hardwood even though it is very soft, just as Douglas fir is a softwood even though it is very hard. They all make excellent, classic stock material for bookcases. Generally, harder woods are the heavier and more resistant to scratches. Still, softer woods, if treated correctly, will keep just as well as harder woods. Plywood: Made by stacking thin sheets -- "plies" -- of lumber and gluing them under pressure, plywood features grains that alternate direction for strength. Several grades are available, of differing cost. Top and bottom plies can be high-quality woods to create the appearance of fine woods, but edge veneer or molding is needed to complete the illusion. Particleboard: Wood chips glued together carry a much lower price tag than solid wood, and particleboard is denser and more uniform. It's a great choice when cost is the primary consideration. Bookshelves crafted from veneered composite boards can look and feel as good as real wood. MDF: Wood fibers, tiny chips and sawdust collected and glued into sheets form medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Low-cost MDF makes an excellent base for veneers; plus, its strength is consistent and it shapes well. Metal: There's a reason most library bookshelves are made from metal: Metal bookcases are resistant to moisture and fungus, their low-friction shelves are easier on books' bindings and metal's strength-to-weight ratio can't be beat. Their cost usually comes in below any other material. Glass: Glass bookshelves weigh more than other types, but if you plan on assembling your bookshelves only once, the style points can be well worth it. Tempered glass shelves (in wood or metal uprights, called "standards") give your home an unbeatable contemporary feel, and glass bookcases' smooth, transparent surfaces add brilliant levity to a decorating piece that might otherwise be notably opaque and heavy.
